My 2016 Review

This is a collage showcasing the events that happened in 2016. I really enjoyed this year because we worked in a new learning space and we had a mixed class. I am going to really miss this school because I wont be able to see some of my friends. My favorite part for this year was going on a trip with the whole class. 

Atheletics - Team Spirit

Today, we had the whole school doing Athletics. We had some students from Tamaki College for teaching us some games that was based on Olympics.We had multiple game we played. Today was full of team spirit. We had all of us cheering for each other and while they were trying their best on completing the game. Today was raining but we had fun playing in the rain. 

Hockey Lesson with Carly

Yesterday, the Y8's had a great lesson with Carly. We had a warm up game that was called traffic lights to practice pushing and trapping the ball. We played a game that was a shark game to practice defending, pushing, hitting the ball. We had challenge to jiggle the ball for a min to focus on the reaction and the skill control.

Jean Batten - Jane & Manu

This what me and my partner Manu did for our schools topic 'Flight'. Our focus for today was to create a DLO about Jean Batten, who is broke the world record to fly a aeroplane from England to Australia. During on her journey, she has been exploring some other city like South America, Brazil, and for her last ever trip on the aeroplane was from England to New Zealand, Auckland, Mangere.

Current Events - Nikki Hamblin and Abbey D'agostino

For Current Event, Nikki Hamblin and Abbey D'Agostino that showed team spirit through working together in a race and finishing the race together. This shows what sportsmanship is all about and what sportsmanship is truly about. Having team work and team spirit will put you in good situation and putting you into a higher stage and will be reconsigned with good team spirit.  I think this kind of team spirit should be going on if someone have fallen over.

Hover-bike - Advertisment

For writing, we got given a challenge to create a Advertisement about a hover-bike. In advertisement, we choose to put in the  Rule of Three, Rhetorical Question, and very important details to hook in the audience by buying the the product. 

Book Week - Customises

 Today and this week, we had the whole school dressed up in a costume that was related to the book that we decided to customises. So I went as Oliver that was in Close Your Pretty Eyes. We did the a parade in the hall. While the parade, we had some visitors from Tamaki College and some from Panmure Library. Some people who got to dress up did an amazing work today.

Attributing Images - Jane

Today, we have been learning how to attribute images by using google images. If you want to attributes this is how you do it. First you search up a person you want to look at. You go on search tools and look for a label for reuse. The reason why we have to attribute is because using the images normally is stealing but if your attribute is like say thank you to the person who design the photo. 

Maths - E- ako maths

This a screenshot that i have been doing in maths. For maths, I have been practising my skills on a website called: E- ako Maths. I have been focusing on exploring my tens and hundreds.   

Transum

This is my results about 7 time tables. Currently I am learning my 7 times table on a game that is kinda like bingo but figuring out what order is comes in. I need to improve and learn my time tables faster and less than 50 seconds. Next time, my aim is to complete this game under than 50 seconds

Aquatics - Jane

Remaining safe around water

Why do we have to be safe around water?

Because some people don’t know how to swim. When you’re in trouble you can always raise your hand above your head and yell out for help.

How might you get into trouble in the water?

Your can get into trouble around water by swimming alone. You can also get into trouble not realising how depth the water is and how the water behave. For example; You might not realise how fast the water is running.

This is my DLO about water safety. We have to write about how we can be safe and what not to do in the water. We had to write a paragraph about the information that we wrote in the thinking grid.

My Recommendation - Jane

This is my DLO about my recommendation about Kiss Kis Yuck Yuck. Kiss Kiss Yuck Yuck was written by Kyle Mewburn. I have already made a DLO about him so check the DLO out to see why and how to write his books. I love this book because it reminds me of myself about my aunty.
